I grew up in Newport, Rhode Island, the “City by the Sea.” Its location and scenery had a profound influence on me. Throughout my childhood, art and spending time by the water fishing were always a constant. When my children were born I became a stay at home dad where I had days to fill with my kids and continued with my art. Art time with them was something we all looked forward to.

I started painting on canvas, painting seaside birds like Harlequin and Eider ducks. This soon gave way to images from past summers of catching fish and the landscape of the Rhode Island coastline. The painting began as just acrylic. Then I was inspired by the gloss coat of epoxy made the fish physically float off the canvas. My background in construction also enabled me to design custom frames for the paintings.
